Question

Suppose f(x) = abx + c is an exponential function. One value which b CANNOT have is

Answer 1

Answer:

b cannot be 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y = ab^x + c$

Required

Values b cannot have

In an exponential equation, the value of b can be:

$b > 1$ ---> This represents growth

$b < 1$----> This represents decay

$b \ne 1$ ---> The value of b can't be 1. If b is 1, then it is not an exponential function
